Ipod in recovery mode. Can you get it out of recovery without restoring it?

Ipods hardrive still works as i can put notes and look at pictures from it. 3rd generation 8gb nano. i just wat to get songs of it but itunes is very ANGRY at me for letting my beloved portable music device slip into some delicious no-brand supermarket cola. Perhaps the Apple gods are angry that it wasnt patriotic cocacolavery
